Hi All
Thought that you might like to see what the RAF thought about the Stirling officially - at least in October 1941 anyway.
The attached is from the The National Archives, there are a lot of forumites from down under who I suspect may never have the chance to sit down at Kew and look through the pages that they have there - so enjoy a read - some are out of focus but you can make it all out - just. You may need to zoom in.

Fascinating bit of reading. Thanks for posting James
There is no paralell in warfare, to such courage and determination in the face of danger, over so long a period. Such devotion, should never be forgotten.
